Dr. Henry Wisner has one of the model ranches in Barber county. It is located in Sharon township, where Sand Creek runs out of the bluffs north of Sharon. A considerably portion of the ranch is meadow land, and Dr. Wisner rarely fails to harvest a large crop of hay. The ranch is well improved, has a large comfortable house where Dr. and Mrs. Wisner make their home, good barns, granaries and corrals, and houses for his tenants and employees.The Doctor handles a great many cattle every year besides those raised on the ranch. There are not many better watered ranches in the county.
